pakige! pakige!
it seems according to zoom the only years that exist are 2025-2099
firmware is already the latest version. thats good because otherwise id have to find a microsd card
im guessing Helvum devs never tried a device with more than 10 channels 😏
it works 🔥🔥
anyway the highly exciting job that awaits this thing for now is just mixing together sound from my various desktop computers
problem is that the current mixer outputs via xlr so i need to redo cabling again uuuuohguhjh

my only complaint so far is that there isnt a "direct usb output" mode. in order to hear the usb output channels, you have to switch channel 7 and/or 8 into usb mode, which disables the analog inputs on those channels

i guess it kinda makes sense for a device that is primarily a mixer rather than an audio interface but still

some people said the sd card is hard to remove on these but it seems fine to me
most important feature
@ahihi when i was considering the mgx12 i kept getting distracted asking myself what silly stuff i could load into its sound pads 😹
@brhfl i see that one has eight of them which is approaching potentially interesting playable instrument territory
@ahihi yeah the serious part of my mind thought, well if i ever do anything live with it, could stick some little ambient loopy bits there just in case 😹
@brhfl oh yeah thats a good idea, this one does have a loop mode too
@brhfl you can even adjust the volume of each individual pad on the fly via the menu. it is absolute finger torture but that might make it funnier to do live

@ahihi big ‘we have an mpc at home’ vibes 😹

will be curious to see how you get on with the livetrak… they’ve packed a lot into that little thing, zoom’s good at that
